Sisters Babs Horner and Susan Palma don’t take anything too seriously — especially entertaining. A party is more fun that way, they say.

Horner, a gourmet caterer in Connecticut, and Palma, a decorator in Dallas, share their humor and silliness in their new book, Sophistication Is Overrated (Brown Books, $55).

While there are no shortages of blow-up dolls and funny party themes, the book also offers a collection of recipes and decor ideas to seriously impress. For each party idea, the sisters suggest hostess tips, menus, tablescapes — and then a crazy counterpart. The 30th anniversary party ideas are followed by a party celebrating a new trophy wife.

While they go for laughs, the sisters deliver plenty of inspiration, too.
